The Legendary Stories Of Manneken Pis Dec 23, - The third one tells an epic story, when Brussels was besieged and had been resisting attacks for several days. Besiegers set up fire to burn the city before they left. Fortunately, a little boy who was walking down rue de l'Etuve saw the burning wick. He didn't know where to find water, so he started to pee to.
Manneken Pis is one of Brussels' famous, but more unusual attractions. The small boy peeing in the water fountain is to Brussels what the Statue of Liberty is to Manhattan, or Big Ben is to London. However, do not expect anything large, the statue is only a tiny 61cm (2ft) in height. Astonishingly, the statue is.
